You will receive 1 Bare Root plant with a healthy root system. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are one of the world's most recognizable and popular grape varieties. Originating in the Bordeaux region of France, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are now grown in many countries around the world. With their thick skins and deep colors, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes produce rich, full-bodied wines with intense aromas and flavors of blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco, and leather. For those who want to grow their own Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, the following planting instructions will help ensure a successful crop. Before planting, make sure to select a location with well-drained soil and full sun exposure. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes prefer a slightly acidic soil, so it is important to have your soil tested before planting. When planting, make sure to space the vines at least 8 to 10 feet apart, with rows 10 to 12 feet apart. Plant the vines at a depth of 2 to 3 inches, with the roots spread out in a fan shape. Gently firm the soil around the roots and water the soil immediately after planting. Once planted, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes require regular watering and fertilizing to produce healthy vines and fruit. Water the soil around the base of the vine deeply, but infrequently. Finally, prune the vines each winter to ensure a healthy crop. Pruning should be done soon after the last frost and should be done carefully to maintain the shape of the vine. When pruning, make sure to remove any dead or diseased stems, as well as any shoots that are growing in the wrong direction.
